Hello everyone, i wanna talk about the current state of havoc demon hunter. Well, i’m hvc dh with 217 ilvl, i have done an all around content such getting my curve, hit 1.8cr on 2s and rbgs and have a rio score around 1.200. I’m trying to be competitive, but how can i be competitive when for example in arenas i am the only class that in order to win i have to play dumpening with mana rift build meanwhile other classes they just have insanely dmg,cc,healing and burst.
Also the same applies in keys, always subjectively speaking i find it ridiculous using a 4min cd(Metamorphosis) and not be the top dps when hunters,mages,boomkins,monks,dks are using a 2min cd or less and they are top of the meters. Please don’t misunderstand me i don’t ask to be the top damager or an op class i just want my spec to viable, i don’t want to reroll.
Last but not least, if i don’t run a dungeon key with irl friends, i don’t get invited in pugs.I spend more time finding a group than playing the actual game cause havocs have that bad reputation.It’s my first time paying and playing a game and feel so frustrated…
I hope im not the only one that bears this feeling!
Yea i am too facing the same problem, i cannot enjoy any content in the game cause i decided to play a class that fits my fantacy. I have couple weeks of my sub if blizzard still didnt do anything about it I am gone, I wont pay money for a gme I do not enjoy…
I hope Blizzard adjusts us soon, but to be realistic, i think major rework will be done for next expansion, since that is when Blizzard typically changes core class abilities, which we need in this case.
Our class was born of borrowed power and is the epitome of the imbalance that follows once the said power is removed.
On top of our major issues, like too long CD for meta, expensive base blade dance, and wet noodle chaos strike (when it doesn’t crit) to name a few, we have also other small but no less important spells that need change- like how our Imprison works only on few enemy types for no good reason, our Darkness being only 20% which is hit or miss, yep pun. But mostly its such a dark color that tank and dps instinctively move AWAY from it as they think its something bad (can’t blame them). This is especially true in raid environment where its better to instantly move away from a ground AOE than take an extra second and think if this was a DH who dropped darkness down. Preferably Blizz should change darkness visual to be more “inviting” to friendlies and maybe do a shorter duration with higher % chance of miss. Or rework it completely if this is overpowered in its base form and just give it flat 20% damage reduction from physical damage (like a reverse anti- magic zone).
As a whole the DH class is interesting but it will always be very weak in 50% of each expansion (first half of each expansion) till it balances out with the current borrowed power abilities that Blizz made. To battle this Blizz should consider fixing the weak class abilities, and then arranging the borrowed power to give weaker power gains. Not like the current expansion where we literally need to make our “major” spender- Chaos strike have a chance to hit twice and on top also do 50% more damage to even have a chance of reaching other mid level DPS classes on single target fights.
I am too beyond frustrated at this point, I have no irl friends that actually play wow and therfore no group, my guild mainly consists of ppl who are not really trying to push keys and are not at the point of running 14s yet.
So I am essentially forced to pug, after getting all 13s timed with a lot of struggle, I am now trying to get all 14s, but it doesnt work at all, including today its been 3 days since i finished timing my 13s and so far i got only 1 single timed 14 which is mists, i am sitting in the group finder for literally hours upon hours getting declines shoved in my face.
I just feel like its not worth my time anymore, I could invest all that time im sitting in that damn group finder into something else, and yet I keep trying because thats just the type of content that is the most fun to me.
Blizzard on the other hand seems to be trying to exterminate Havocs from m+ or from every type of content tbh.
I have tried rerolling to MM or Fire or whatever but i find that they are no fun to me an i wont find any enjoyment either in playing a class that I am only playing for the sake of being able to keep up but dont really like.
I am now waiting for patch 9.1 if there will be no changes that make playing Havoc worth again, i dont really know what i will do, but It has come to a point where im just thinking about picking up some other game and just come back once Havoc is at least viable.
As long as we going to pay the nightmare well keep going on…
My main is assin rogue and guess what even with the 13% we got no one is playing the spec its still down the bottom of the list of dps Its a fail
So I always had my DH as back up item level 200 and rdy for go…
Guess what Nope… a fail
So I made a warlock sure fine in pve singel target but as for pvp its a joke
and lets look at the content There IS NONE …
- Raid
- M+
- PvP
thats it… all other things of the game is a joke or are over and done
ur not the only one i am with u man , i don’t wanna reroll to but blizzard with way or anther want us behind with CD 4 mins! what a joke !
it’s realy Nightmare for DH players
I’m in the same state. 1.8 in 2s, 218, nearly keystone master but dear lord. It is an absolute nightmare
Lets be honest here… they could have fixed havoc with just few changes. First blood baseline. Why nerf our demonic to 6 seconds? Remove momentum very few of us actually like to act like a superball.
Yeah we do better with borrowed powers but so does other classes. End of bfa havoc wasnt even the class who got the best powers out of the corruption nor were we the top dps. I had tentacles and twilight dev but the classes that were stacking haste /mastery/ crit were actually the ones that got the most out of the expansion. We dont work with stats as well as the rest of the classes…that could be fixed as well.
Except for the part about momentum I agree :).
